Valkyrie Profile was initially launched for the PlayStation 1, followed by a remake for the PSP more than a decade later with Valkyrie Profile Lenneth. This updated remaster included additional cinematic videos at various points throughout the story, as well as enhanced the game’s voiceover and English localization. It is largely regarded as Valkyrie Profile’s […]
This year, Square Enix has been rather active in their game releases, and Dragon Quest Treasures is yet another spin-off based on the Dragon Quest IP. It is a tremendously popular IP in Japan, as seen by the sales success of Dragon Quest XI, and it even outsells Final Fantasy. As a result, it is […]
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is an ambitious attempt to port a game meant for handhelds to a larger screen. It’s a remaster that’s a remake in and of itself, and it acts as a prologue to Final Fantasy VII Remake. It’s difficult to appreciate the improved visuals if you haven’t played the original, […]
The Callisto Protocol is the first significant current-generation release that is both visually and technically stunning. It comes from Striking Distance Studios, a new development team led by industry veteran Glen Schofield. The game debuts right before the impending Dead Space Remake and aspires to be another survival horror-centered sci-fi IP. Does it come near […]
A remake of Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song for modern platforms has revived this long-forgotten, hidden niche RPG. It is not a standard JRPG, with no hand-holding and a non-linear design. The game requires the user to seek out quests and create their own story. It is not an RPG that I would suggest to anybody […]
Flying Wild Hog’s Evil West is a third-person action game that draws inspiration from the likes of God of War to Devil May Cry, and Darksiders to mixed success. The protagonist, Jesse, is capable of fighting with his bare hands, gliding over obstacles using his grappling hook, and taking down his opponents using his special […]
I’ve always been a fan of the Supermassive The Dark Pictures Anthology and have loved their other games, including the newly released The Quarry, but I don’t think The Devil In Me is a fitting conclusion to what they consider to be the first season of The Dark Pictures series. On paper, it offers a […]
The Harvest Moon series has been rebranded as Story of Seasons. Doraemon is already a popular IP outside of Japan, so when Bandai Namco combined the two franchises into a single game in 2019, the combination worked well. Nobita and his friends will go on another adventure in Friends of the Great Kingdom, this time […]
Tactics Ogre: Reborn is a remastered version of a classic SRPG created by Final Fantasy series veteran Yasumi Matsuno. While it lacks the appeal of the Final Fantasy series, it features an in-depth combat system with some amazing storyline and character development. The original Tactics Ogre was published for the PlayStation 1, followed by a […]
Harvestella is without a doubt one of the year’s biggest surprises. Even if the game starts slowly, it never ceases to be fun to play and keeps throwing new stuff at the player. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel for its genre, but it does provide enough enjoyable gameplay moments for those willing to go deeper. […]
